RCMP union releases truly stunning and important document on Canada’s vaxx mandates

RCMP National Headquarters

Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0R2

Dear Commissioner Brenda Lucki:

We respectfully submit this open letter to express our most sincere concerns and resolute stand against the forced coercive medical intervention of Canadians, and against the undue discrimination experienced by those exercising their lawful right to bodily autonomy. We are not against vaccinations, but as law enforcement officers, we cannot in good conscience willingly participate in enforcing mandates that we believe go against the best interests of the people we protect.

National Police Federation calls for more RCMP funding from next federal government

The National Police Federation (NPF) is calling on the next federal government to increase funding for the RCMP after years of flatlining resources.

According to the NPF, which represents 20,000 RCMP officers across Canada, demand for police services has grown 20% since 2017, however, federal government support has failed to meet demands.

RCMP will not apologize to Black community for excessive Halifax street checks

The RCMP says there will be no formal apology to Halifax’s Black communities for its heavy use of street checks, despite the Halifax regional police having done so almost two years ago.

Street checks, which are now banned in Nova Scotia, are defined as police randomly stopping citizens on the streets, recording personal information and storing it electronically – a practice sometimes referred to as “carding” elsewhere in Canada.

RCMP conducting ‘character’ checks on staff as former top intelligence official’s trial approaches

It took the arrest of one of its top intelligence officials to make it happen, but the RCMP says it’s now keeping better tabs on the “character” of the people it employs.

Cameron Ortis, who led the force’s National Intelligence Co-ordination Centre (NICC), was arrested in September 2019 in Ottawa. He was accused of revealing secrets to an unnamed recipient and of planning to give additional classified information to an unspecified foreign entity or terrorist group.

He is charged with multiple Security of Information Act violations, breach of trust and a computer-related offence.

RCMP applaud censorship bill, will help in prosecutions

“It may not seem like a massive development in terms of dealing with the scope of everything that’s been talked about here today, but it will equip law enforcement to see more things through to charges in this country.” —RCMP Cpl. Anthony Statham.

Class action alleging RCMP abuse of Indigenous people in Northern Canada certified

In her decision, Judge Glennys McVeigh rejected the government’s arguments that the proposed suit failed to meet the legal grounds for certification although individuals could sue on their own, and that the claim had no prospect of success.

Holes in the RCMP’s Nova Scotia narrative are a bigger story than leaked 911 calls

This was a killing spree that unfolded over 13 hours at multiple locations in Nova Scotia. One of the complicating factors in stopping Gabriel Wortman’s rampage was the fact that he was dressed in police attire and driving a replica RCMP vehicle. The question of when police became aware of that information — and when they finally informed the public of that information — is crucial.

The Liberal Long-Gun Registry Lives On

Documents disclosed by prosecutors in a court case reveal data that could only have come from the long-gun registry, a report from Brian Lilley in the Toronto Sun says. The problem is these data were supposed to be destroyed in 2012 when Parliament scrapped the long-gun registry. True North’s Andrew Lawton, a licensed gun owner, discusses.

LILLEY: Evidence shows Mounties kept a copy of the gun registry

When criminal defence lawyer Ed Burlew was sifting through the documents sent over by a Crown prosecutor regarding his client, one jumped out. It was proof that the RCMP had kept a copy of the gun registry despite Parliament ordering it destroyed in 2012.

The long-gun registry was brought into being in 1995 with Bill C-68 but was done away with after the passage of Bill C-19 in 2012.

Police watchdog clears RCMP officers who shot at Onslow fire hall during mass shootings

Nova Scotia’s police watchdog has cleared the two RCMP officers who shot at a fire hall in Onslow, N.S., during the hunt for an active gunman last April, saying the Mounties had reasonable grounds to believe a man outside the hall who was wearing a safety vest was the killer.

Firefighters ‘terrorized’ by RCMP during search for Nova Scotia gunman still have no answers

The sharp cracking sound of semi-automatic gunfire sent Greg Muise and Darrell Currie crashing to the ground.

The two volunteer firefighters were setting up an evacuation centre at the Onslow-Belmont fire hall for victims of the Nova Scotia killing spree last April 19 when, out of nowhere, bullets began flying.

Some shots went through the side of the building they were in. Others shattered part of the windshield of a firetruck and damaged a stone monument to deceased firefighters set up outside the building’s main entrance.

Fearing for their lives, and knowing an armed gunman was on the loose, Muise and Currie rushed to find safety in the farthest corner of the building, as far away from the sound of gunfire as they could get.
